      @johnsmith4630 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      SlingshotWarrrior true, trigger bar and bow are all similar. ive had many a modern mouse trap turn up in the AM sans mouse or bait tho, the key cleverness of this old trap is using the woood bow to make the spring tension with the twisted cordage amd turning that into a radial motion. very clever

    Hi Shawn! An absolutely brilliant collaboration of traps and ingenuity!! And perfect timing!! I've been spending time carefully teaching my 7 year old boy the art of wood carving with just his pocket knife for while he's gaining excellent skills. We've made a couple of spears with throwing sticks but I wondered what path to go in next. We'll mouse traps it is!!! Mice are a problem here too, so the honing stones are out and tonight we begin!!!!

    @SheldonBeldon 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This is one of the coolest videos I've seen in a long time on any channel. It's amazing to think that 8000 years ago there were still people much more ingenious than I. I love the vid with the trap that caught rodents with the noose and rope tension, much like this but you blocked off all the spots but the entrance. The best trap you've got so far is the big paint bucket and the dowel rod with peanut butter suspended over a few inches of water. And the most efficient trap you've tested but not shown was probably the old ornery cat you bought.
    Thanks for the vids, I love them.

    Very cool. I'm going to have to build one, just for the fun of it. My favourite one so far and the one I've been using, is the 427 year old Mascall spring mousetrap.

      RAGING PYRO so mice stay small? And there are baby rats?

    • @Bboi-rc8ox
      @Bboi-rc8ox 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Mice do stay small the biggest the can get is the size of a dear friend hamster but that's it but baby rats are about the size of a tennis ball when they start walking and foraging

  • @GratzyTheGame

    I think the bait stick has a notch carved at the tip, and the rope is not tied as a loop, but instead it has a knot at the very end, and you put the bait into the notch, an the small knot will prevent to loosen up. This is what I saw in the photo of the trap. But it works just fine with your design. Thank you for sharing.

    I can see that being a lot more lethal if you make the kill bars into a triangle that's sharp on the bottom and they could slide past each other like a pair of scissors so they may not dull as quickly as you'd think.
    Putting nails along the kill bar like the dragon trap is also an option, but seeing as the trap can hit lower on the mouse's abdomen, you might risk contaminating the meat if you were going to eat what this catches.
